array of historic cars that you can actually own – provided your pockets are deep enough. This is a curated sample of some of the beautiful veteran, vintage and classic cars offered for private treaty sale by world-renowned specialist RM Sotheby’ s. Any one of them, therefore, can be yours!
In fact, RM Sotheby’ s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run Sale is taking place later on Saturday afternoon at The Peninsula Hotel, a short walk away at Hyde Park Corner. The sale will be attended by buyers and sellers as important cars change hands and, sometimes, reach record-breaking values.
London, as you probably know already, has been transformed into one of the most bike-friendly cities on earth, and so the veteran bicycles( and, of course, motorcycles) making up the fourth zone are especially appropriate to the transport mix. Here you’ ll see a fascinating collection of two-wheelers, with many of them also due to make the journey from London to Brighton on Sunday. That’ s no mean feat over 60 miles if you’ re doing the pedalling yourself! There’ s also a key educational facet to this zone, explaining how technology has evolved in several cutting-edge bikes and motorbikes of today. Even dedicated petrolheads will be hooked …
This year, 2025, sees the 75th anniversary of the Formula 1 World Championship. The very first official race took place at Britain’ s newly opened Silverstone circuit, and the Royal Automobile Club’ s British Grand Prix Trophy awarded back then is still held aloft by British GP winners today. This wonderful piece of silverware will be on show at the Spectacle, and a special replica podium has been built specially for F1 fans who’ s like a chance to have their photos taken with it – a truly unique opportunity.
Zone six, finally, completes the St James’ s Motoring Spectacle in, well, very spectacular style, with an awesome on-street arrangement of the latest ultimate performance‘ hypercars’ in all their hightech glory. Few of us will ever possess one of these supercars, of course, but here is a unique chance to fantasise and maybe, just maybe, make up your mind that one day you’ ll join the ranks of proud owners. And you may be surprised at just how sustainable some of these 200mph machines actually are.
So there you have it, the St James’ s Motoring Spectacle, not to be missed, something for everyone, relaxing and safe to enjoy, and completely free. Enjoy all its many motoring delights.-
